[Bug 44563] Re: auto arrange icons on desktop by source/type

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for your bug. I don't know how realistic that is, but that's not
something that will be hacked soon. There is a "group by" feature
request upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48525

Having specialized areas like you suggest is probably not possible,
there is no way to know if a file has been saved from internet or from a
local app. The sorting by timestamp is another feature request. Anyway
if you have nice idea like that you should probably file bugs upstream
where they are likely to be worked, as a distribution we fix bugs
usually but new features tend to happen upstream (and if we want to work
on one we work with upstream if possible anyway)
